Are there mooslimbs involved?

And where has the damned news media been? We’ve spent the last two weeks being bombarded with tire gauge philosophy and Paris Hilton’s energy plan ... and THIS is going on and we only find out when Russia invades Georgia? They should NEVER call themselves ‘NEWS’ again ... we don’t have a NEWS media anymore do we. No way we should be “surprised” with this news as we are. Shame on the “opinion” media!!!

OK, President Bush. You need to call Congress back, and do it now! Get Book Tour Nancy back in there, before this overseas crises somehow causes an increase in energy prices. We cannot sit on our recesses and drill up our backsides with our thumbs. We need to Drill Here, and Drill Now, in ANWR, and off our coasts!

[penelopesire]

Heard a report that our military left yesterday. Putin knows better than that it would appear.

[Larry Lucido]

Hmm. The WRIF morning show guys were just making fun of someone who predicted the end of the world on 8-8-08 at 8 am. Maybe we shouldn’t laugh just yet....

Does this mean the Georgian’s have more than the molotov cocktails the Hungarian’s had in ‘56?

The euro trash will be whimpering for the US step in and sort things out. One time the euro libs appreciate “cowboys” is when europeans start killing other europeans.

Voice of America: Georgian Forces Attack South Ossetia

Georgian military forces have fought their way into the capital of the breakaway region of South Ossetia.

Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili said Friday he had ordered an all-out offensive to regain control of the breakaway area.

Russian "peacekeeping" troops are in Ossetia. Georgia accuses them of aiding the rebels. Looks like combat might soon or already be happening between Georgian and Russian ground forces
